I think people in the LLM space are being far too impatient with the general public and their adoption. And I think they need to start thinking harder about building products that genuinely enrich people's lives. Look at how long home computing took to establish itself with the public, then the internet, and finally social media. None of these trends happened overnight, and some were accelerated by other technological advances (social media-> smartphones).

The adoption of these technologies spurned ton of innovation in these spaces, and I feel like with LLMs its the first time I've seen genuine frustration from the industry directed towards users for not adopting the technology fast enough. This attitude did not exist in the 1980s, it didn't exist in the 90s, and it didn't exist in the 00s/early 10s either.
